SUMMARY:Playing By Heart XII Piano Benefit Concert
DESCRIPTION:Local Piano Students Perform at Wilton Library \n*This event is not sponsored\, co-sponsored\, or approved by Wilton Library.\nOn Sunday\, Sept. 30 at 2:30 p.m. in the Brubeck Room of the Wilton Library\, advanced students of Wilton pianist and teacher Kyong Hee Cho will perform in the 12th “Playing By Heart Benefit Concert.” \nThis year’s concert will benefit Norwalk Grassroots Tennis & Education (NGTE)\, an organization dedicated to helping “underserved children in Norwalk through tennis and education.” NGTE’s goal “is to ensure each of our kids is on a path towards success on the court\, in the classroom and in life.” Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students. \nThis year’s concert will feature music by Beethoven\, Brahms and Chopin as well as selections by more contemporary composers Debussy\, Morton Gould and Dmitry Kabalevsky. The program is set by the choices of the performers\, some of whom select a piece because they heard it performed by another student in a previous concert and often with the guidance of Mrs. Cho\, whose primary goal as a teacher is “…to develop music lovers as well as good listeners in addition to being proficient pianists.” \nPreparation for the concert begins well in advance of the September performance\, as the students (with the help of sponsors and parents) choose the beneficiary organization. Intensive practices and late summer rehearsals place a demand on these already busy students\, several of whom play other instruments in symphonic\, jazz and marching bands or school\, local and regional orchestras. Performers need to transcend mere memorization of notes to wrestle with dynamics and tempo to develop a unique interpretation of a piece. Although all play regularly in recitals\, they concur that this is different because “people have paid to hear you play.” \nAs Sharon Kesselman\, one of the adults who will perform\, put it\, “Without the performance\, there would be not as much incentive to learn the piece. It’s about being nervous\, wanting to show off my best\, wanting not to fail —all of this helps with motivation to practice a piece that has already been practiced quite a bit\, and then practice it some more. It’s about the journey.” \nTickets can be purchased at the door or in advance by contacting Kyong Hee Cho via email. \nPictured:  Top row–Sharon Kesselman\, Woongki Hong\, Colin Hong\, Jack Nanez\, Peyton Lauricella\, and teacher Kyong Hee Cho; bottom row–Alisyn Kercher and Claudia Nanez. Missing from the photo is student Martha West-Glynn.

SUMMARY:The John Rhodes Jazz Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Now in its 43rd year\, the annual John Rhodes Jazz Symposium will be held Friday\, Feb. 22 at Wilton High School in The Little Theater. This event\, an assembly of high school jazz bands from across Fairfield County\, is known and loved for its display of enormous musical talent and rush of crowd-thrilling performances. The symposium is open to the public and free of charge. All are welcome. \nThe first of the two sessions will start at 3:30 p.m. and run until 6 p.m.; the second session will begin at 6:30 p.m. and run until 9 p.m.. Following the student performances\, Fairfield County’s own Berkshire Jazz Orchestra will take the stage for a special guest performance that will include several Stan Kenton numbers. \nWilton High School band director Nick Loafman is looking forward to another year of inspiring jazz performances. “There is always so much talent on display at our annual jazz symposium. It is so fun and rewarding to hear so many students from different schools playing this great music\,” he says. \nParticipating in the symposium this year will be 10 bands from a number of Fairfield County high schools\, including Westhill\, King School\, Bethel\, Norwalk\, McMahon\, Newtown\, and Weston. Wilton High School will feature two of its jazz bands at the event—Jazz I and Jazz II. \nThe annual symposium is a cherished tradition for local jazz students. It offers them the opportunity to perform on stage as well as to receive critical feedback from an academic panel. “It is always excellent to have student musicians perform for each other in an educationally focused\, non-competitive setting\,” Loafman says. “The students always learn a great deal by performing and listening to each other.” \nIn total\, approximately 200 passionate young jazz musicians are expected to assemble for this event to share their talents and bring great entertainment to Wilton. Musical selections will range in style from traditional big band swing to Latin to ballads to contemporary jazz. \nAlso looking forward to this event is Troy Williams\, Wilton High School’s newest band director. This will be his first year at the symposium. “I’ve heard nothing but great things about this event\,” he says. “I’m excited to hear the other jazz bands coming from near and far.” \nLoafman and Williams are especially pleased to welcome back to Wilton the Berkshire Jazz Orchestra. This regional jazz group\, organized in 1987\, comprises active performers and educators from all over Fairfield County. \n“We feel so honored to have these great musicians perform here in Wilton for the students and the community\,” Loafman says. “If you love jazz\, then this will be a real treat.”

SUMMARY:Choral Concert:  Music of the French Baroque
DESCRIPTION:Wilton’s own Music on the Hill presents an exquisite choral experience that will include the rarely performed works of French Baroque composer Marc Antoine Charpentier (1643-1704)\, including his “Te Deum\,” “Regina Caeli\,” and “Messe a 8 voix et 8 violons et flutes.” The festival and chamber choruses of Music on the Hill will be joined by organ\, trumpets\, strings and timpani in the acoustically rich and resonant church sanctuary. \nIt will be a special afternoon of music\, inspired by the lovely gardens and buildings of the Palais de Versailles\, where many of these musical gems were composed and/or originally performed in Charpentier’s lifetime. Living at virtually the same time as the Sun King\, Louis XIV (1638-1715)\, Charpentier and his music are representative of a distinctive era in French history\, when absolute monarchy reigned\, and France was widely recognized for its rich\, indulgent and breath-taking culture and arts–many say the greatest in French history.

SUMMARY:Summer Choral Concert: Dvorak's Te Deum and Mass in G
DESCRIPTION:Music on the Hill is pleased to present its 17th Annual Summer Chorus with the choral music of Czech composer Antonin Dvorak on Thursday\, July 25 . Works will be his Te Deum (Op. 103) and the Mass in D Major (Op. 86)\, both written in the 1890s as Dvorak turned his eye towards America and his time here. These treasures are not frequently performed and so provide a special experience for singers and audience alike to explore and celebrate his style and compositions. Strings\, brass and timpani will accompany the full chorus. \nThe concert will be at the St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church\, from 8-9:30 p.m. on Thursday July 25. A suggested donation of $20/person is suggested but not required. We welcome all who appreciate gorgeous choral works. \nQuestions? Contact artistic director Ellen Dickinson via email or call 203.529.3133. \nMusic on the Hill’s Summer Chorus of 60-plus voices meets each July to rehearse and perform a major choral-orchestral work. Participants–music professionals and skilled amateurs–include members of church and community choirs\, high school singers\, and those looking for a choral home. The Summer Chorus provides an opportunity for choral singers to perform a major work in summer when most choruses do not meet\, and it gives singers a chance to get to know others from many area towns and choruses.

SUMMARY:Brubeck for Kids:  A Hands-on Jazz Exploration Workshop at Wilton Historical Society CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED \nCider Mill School music teacher Cheryll Ryder and museum educator Katherine Karlick will lead an engaging intro to jazz and the legacy of Wilton’s own jazz man\, Dave Brubeck\, in the Wilton Historical Society presentation\, “Brubeck for Kids: A Hands-on Jazz Exploration Workshop.” \nBrubeck’s innovative combinations of rhythms and meters\, as evidenced on his 1959 Take Five album (the greatest selling jazz record of all time) will be the inspiration for this workshop. Children will explore three music stations:  working with keyboards and headphones to try their hand at adding a musical score to visual images\, as if they are writing a score for a movie; working with xylophones; and investigating new sounds with rhythm instruments. A guided tour of “Remembering Dave: A Brubeck Family Album” exhibition is included\, as is a snack. \nSuggested for children ages 6-12. Cost for Wilton Historical Society members is $10; non-members are $15. Please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know?\nPresident Barack Obama stated\, “In order to understand America\, you have to understand jazz\, and in order to understand jazz\, you have to understand Dave Brubeck\,” when he bestowed the prestigious Kennedy Center Honor upon the jazz great at the White House in 2009.

SUMMARY:Wilton Library: Virtual Brubeck Brothers Quartet Concert
DESCRIPTION:The Trustees of Wilton Library invite you to join us online for a very special concert broadcast featuring the Brubeck Brothers Quartet. This concert is being offered completely for free as the Wilton Library’s gift of thanks to the town for the holidays. \nThe concert was recorded earlier this summer in the library’s Brubeck Room before a limited-size\, live audience in conjunction with the various festivities surrounding the dedication of The Brubeck Collection at Wilton Library. \nMusicians Chris and Dan Brubeck\, sons of jazz giant Dave Brubeck\, head a versatile band with guitarist Mike DeMicco and pianist Chuck Lamb. Chris and Dan Brubeck have been making music together practically all their lives. Drummer Dan and bassist\, trombonist\, and composer Chris cut their first record together in 1966. They’ve played a variety of styles in a number of different groups as well as with their father and their dynamic Brubeck Brothers Band. Although the quartet’s style is rooted in straight-ahead jazz\, their concerts reveal an inherent ability to explore and play odd time signatures while naturally integrating the influences of funk\, blues\, and world music. \nOnline registration is required in order to receive the Zoom invitation link. \nThe concert and The Brubeck Collection dedication event were sponsored by Fairfield County Bank.

DESCRIPTION:To continue the celebration of the recent ribbon-cutting for The Brubeck Collection at Wilton Library – and celebrate Dave Brubeck‘s birthday! – please join the library online for an engaging conversation between author and music historian Stephen Crist and musicologist Gil Harel. On Thursday\, Dec. 6 from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm they will discuss Dave Brubeck’s iconic album “Time Out” as well as Brubeck’s music and life. Professor Crist of Emory University literally “wrote the book” on this album and he sat down for a discussion with Gil Harel from Naugatuck Valley Community College. \nTheir discussion was recorded in October in the library’s new archive room in conjunction with the ribbon-cutting for The Brubeck Collection at Wilton Library. A recording of the ribbon-cutting ceremony will be broadcast as an introduction to the program starting at 6:30 pm with the Crist and Harel program beginning around 7 pm. \nStephen A. Crist is Chair of the Music Department at Emory University where he is also Professor of Music History. He works largely in European music of the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries\, with additional interests in hymnody and jazz. His most recent book is Dave Brubeck’s Time Out (Oxford University Press\, 2019). Professor Crist received his Ph.D. (music history) from Brandeis University\, after an M.M. (music theory) from the University of South Florida\, and a B.A. (English and American literature and language) from Harvard University. \nGil Harel\, Associate Professor of Music at Naugatuck Valley Community College\, is a musicologist and music theorist whose interests include styles ranging from renaissance madrigals to modal jazz of the 1960s. Previously\, he served on the faculty at CUNY Baruch College where he was awarded the prestigious “Presidential Excellence Award for Distinguished Teaching.” At NVCC\, Dr. Harel conducts the college chorale\, a cappella ensemble\, and renaissance madrigal choir. He also teaches music history\, music theory\, ear training\, and serves as musical director of theater productions. \nOnline registration is required in order to receive the Zoom invitation link.
